Hi All,

Please advice we will be moving to USA in September and I will joining the my job in Nov / Dec time frame so during these 2 months how do I cover my family medical cover .
Also any special documentation I should get from NHS?

Thanks you very much!

You should get some short term insurance once in the US. Travel insurance won't cover you.

Google 'short term insurance'

A letter from your GP might suffice.

Enroll for Affordable Care Act coverage on arrival - immigration is a qualifying event.

Then switch to your employer's coverage when that kicks in - taking a new job is a qualifying event for switching insurance.

You're welcome. :)Start with healthcare.gov, and it should send you to the applicable state portal if there is one, otherwise you use the federal portal.
